Going to give one of these a whirl. Wondering what ammo (hunting & target) they usually like, problems, reviews, etc. Anybody have one?

Mines not a PSA but a Diamondback DB10. It loves Hornady American Whitetail 129gr.

When shooting an AR, you lose about 100 fps for the gas operation to normal bolt action speeds. So I like to drop down to a little lighter weight bullet. Something in the 120 to 130 grain would be good. A 130 grain Accubond, 123 or 129 SST, 123 ELDM, all of those would be good.

Mine likes Winchester Deer Season XP and it works well for hunting.

I have one and my buddy has one as well. We've both taken them out over 700 yards--- outstanding accuracy. I replaced the trigger with a CMC single stage drop in that was more to my liking.
Rifle shot a sub 1/4" group (100 yards) with factory 120gr ELDM. For the long stuff we are running Chad's 130gr ELDM and it is wayyyyy to much fun to just line up on the 600m steel and go 'boom, Ting' until the mag is empty!

The Hornady 140 gr ELD Match & Precision Hunter 143 gr ELD-X give me great results.

I have a Wilson Combat, Tactical Hunter, 20". Hornady Superformance, 129 gr SST. Search my posts on this ammo and how well it's works for me on hogs. Accurate and great wound channel. Everything DRT.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Yes sir. If they make a certain bullet, brass and dies, I can load it. I only keep part of what I load on my website. Most things I load is custom loaded with the customer specifying what they want.

I can, but it depends on what bullet you want. Give me a ring and we can discuss. Thanks!
